Cleveland Rocket Ships! History of CLE’s NASA Glenn
In 1941 ground was broken in Cleveland, Ohio, to create the facility now known as The NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field. We’re talking years before NASA was even established! For this Cleveland Stories session, Senior Aerospace Engineer Craig Williams will explain the history of the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, the advances of their research, development of launch vehicles, the missions they flew, and more!

The goal of the Cleveland Stories Dinner Party is to bring to life some of the fun, interesting stories about Cleveland’s past – from sports, to rock ‘n roll, to Millionaire’s Row, — the series will focus on tidbits from Cleveland’s past that will really thrill the audience. The Music Box is presenting this series in partnership with the Western Reserve Historical Society’s new Cleveland History Center. We think the Cleveland History Center is one of the most important museums in Cleveland. An unknown gem that Clevelanders should know more about, and support. It is the only museum in Cleveland dedicated to preserving and documenting the history of Cleveland. The Cleveland History Center includes two mansions, the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum, Chisholm Halle Costume Wing, Research Library, Kidzibits Hands-On Gallery, rotating exhibitions, and the Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel.
